With the world’s population growing at the rate of four births per second,each with a solitary identity but once in a while,nature stuns the world by bringing some unsual souls.I know you are wondering what kind of creatures am I about to tell you..??? Alright, let me tell you more about the people who are only born once in a millennium;

To begin with, lets talk about Shiloh Pepin aslo known as Kennebunkport’s mermaid girl.Shiloh was one among the only three people in the universe living with mermaid syndrome.She was born with her legs fused together,only one partially working kidney and no lower colon or genital organs.Her parents were told their daughter would live only for a few days but Shiloh suppassed the odds and received her first kidney transplant when she was two years old.The kidney lasted for two years and following two years of painful dialysis,She received her second kidney transplant in 2007.She was recovering when unfortunately she died while battling pneumonia at the age of 10.

Futhermore,lets go to Rwanda where we meet Zanza Mana Ellie.A Rwandan lady got her prayers answered after losing her first five children and a boy named Ellie was born with unusal features and learning disabilities.He spent most of his time in the bushes as villagers targeted him by calling him a monkey or gorilla.Unlike other human beings,he fed upon the grass and didn’t like regular food that humans consumed.Just after his story went viral, people all over the world started contributing money for him and his mother.He went to school,learned to communicate with people and now is a superstar and rolls in suits and designer clothes in his country.

Next is Abigail and Brittany Hensel.Abigail and Brittany Hensel came into the world in 1990 as the rarest case of conjoined twins in which two diferent heads share a single body and main organs.Each twin could control only one arm and one leg which required a lot of participation to finish their everyday job.Their strong family assisted them with going to school and finishing their education journey.Running life together and conquering difficulties isn’t a problem to them anymore and now they work as instructors at a school and are an amazing wellspring of motivation for small kids.

Also, we have Romesa Gelke from Turkey.She is the world’s tallest girl who stands at seven feet due to a rare condition called weaver syndrome which usual starts before birth and is sometimes accompanied by increased muscle tone,wide eyes,foot deformities and unusually large ears.The exact cause of the condition is unknown but some researchers believe that it can be inherited although none of Gelke’s parents or older siblings have the condition.Gelke,24 years old mostly uses a wheelchair but she can walk if she uses a walking frame.Since she won her world’s records of being the tallest girl,she has been using her platiform to advocate for others with rare conditions.

Now meet Rodriguez Hernandez Jason.Hernandez set the world.’s Guinness book of records for largest feet.His right foot measures 1.31 feet long and his left foot reaches 1.30 feets,which is even bigger than the feet of the world’s tallest man.In his childhood,he was frequently teased by fellow children for the large size of his feet and finding shoes for him was difficult so he had to wear sandals made of old tires and fabric. When he couldn’t find any shoe fit in his hometown,he contacted a shoe maker from Germany who created shoes with special materials for him.His feet have grown even larger although he has been undergoing treatment in a bid to stop them from growing anymore.

Final,meet Isaac Johnson from Minnesota.He may look like a normal teenager until she opens his mouth.His mouth gape of more than fouur inches made him a dentist’s dream after seeing the width of the former world’s Guinnes Book of record holder,Isaac was determined to be next world’s book record holder and ultimately succeeded in his endeavor.Right now he is able to open his mouth so wide that he can fit objects like a soda can and even a baseball with room to spare.Keeping his mouth open for a long period of time doesn’t hurt him but it can be tiring for him.
